AIUI, Mozilla is rewriting the address bar ("QuantumBar"), and you can now toggle it on in Nightly by setting browser.urlbar.quantumbar to true in about:config. I've only tried it on Linux, but it seems smoother.

When did the "Awesome Bar" become the "Quantum Bar", what's the difference, and why can't they call it the "address bar" (yes despite it being overloaded with other functions)?

It's this rewrite specifically that's called QuantumBar.

Thanks for the pointer, the toggle works in stable too but the smoothness you describe just isn't there yet :)
